Culture includes everything - Traditional and contemporary. Language, stories - music, all performing arts, etc. This forum is a place to share our culture - to inform, educate and enlighten - ourselves and others.

Please see detailed submission process below. A reminder that these micro-grants are seed funding for projects that are in development and are not to be construed as commissioning, work shopping or production funds.

Submission DetailsArtists interested in applying for this year’s program areasked to review our website in order to familiarize themselves with the kind of work the company does andthe artists we engage. http://www.cahoots.ca/in-cahoots/theatre-creators-reserve/Preference will be given to applications that fulfill our mandate of diversity. In addition to welcoming playwrights, Cahoots strongly encourages submissions from all diverse performance artists (including directors, designers etc.) as well as those working in non-text disciplines.

There will likely be more projects we would like to support than available funds. Depending on the number of submissions and our current priorities, Cahoots reserves the right to fund fewer projects at a more significant level. On average, creators receive between $1000 – $2500. Cahoots has never funded any individual artist above $3500.
